Böhni emphasized that the production of climate-neutral fuel is key to climate protection and therefore needs to be given a fair chance; he established the Clean Fuel Now initiative at the Federal Parliament in Bern in late 2014. Climate change is happening much faster than we thought a few years ago. Click to enlarge.

When completed later this year, the unit will test a system conceived by the University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research (UKCAER) at slipstream-scale to capture carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from the flue gas of an operating coal-fired power plant.

Under this cost-shared research and development (R&D), DOE is awarding $51 million to nine new projects for coal and natural gas power and industrial sources. In prior work with DOE, MTR has advanced membrane CO 2 capture technology for coal power plants through small engineering scale testing and studies.

In addition, despite the rigorous development of renewables, carbon dioxide emissions are increasing, because the energy mix increasingly includes coal-fired power plants that emit large quantities of CO 2 to compensate for weather-related fluctuations in power generation from renewables and the closing of nuclear plants.

Throughout the Kyoto Protocol period, industrialized countries have made efforts to change their energy sources mix. This needs to be considered in future years in all efforts to mitigate the growth of global greenhouse gas emissions, as desired by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Bali Action Plan and the Cancún agreements.

Fuel cycle analysis (FCA)—or “well-to-wheels analysis”—is a type lifecycle analysis (LCA) that examines fuel products and their supply chains, and that has greatly influenced climate-related research priorities and public policies for transportation fuels. This is where biofuels come in, as carbon is fixed during feedstock growth.

Many countries have met their climate goals and are on track to be completely carbon neutral. And the Norwegian company H2Carrier recently received approval in principle for its concept for an industrial-scale floating production unit to make green ammonia at sea. Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy.

Fifty years later, the USA is faced with a similar challenge, energy independency and climatic change. These companies have sunk costs invested in coal, gas and oil plants and are content in maximizing the return on these investments. The concept of a federal mandated alternative energy goal is not new.

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. The convenience and low cost of this concept alone merit attention. Thus evaluation of vehicles by e-miles alone omits important consideration of annual emissions.

Reply ↓ ↑ report 10 Throwback 11:06AM (4/23/2009) I liked the Zeo concept from last years show season. Sorry, but electrics and electric power plants are so efficient that CO2 emissions are less than gassers even when the electricity comes from coal - and a lot of electricity doesnt come from coal.

GM says it is already looking ahead to the next generation of Volt-based vehicles — it unveiled the Cadillac Converj concept in January — and says costs will come down as the technology spreads to more models. Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal.
